Addressing WannaCry, Ransomware and Other Vulnerabilities with ForeScout Security Policy Templates
Ransomware, like WannaCry and Petya—which ravaged hundreds of thousands of vulnerable systems across 150 countries and industries—highlights the critical need for vulnerability assessment beyond paying ransoms, which rarely unlocks data or offsets losses. Forescout software helps by enforcing cyber hygiene to prevent infections, delivering agentless real-time vulnerability detection, rapid threat evaluation, and automated response workflows—scanning endpoints continuously, prioritizing risks, isolating compromised devices, and integrating with security tools to minimize disruptions and protect critical infrastructure effectively.
